Chapter 514: The Breach
Chapter 514: The Breach
As Deng Xing spoke, she unconsciously applied a bit of force, causing the large cat in her arms to meow softly. She apologized, "Sorry, Mao Mao."
At that moment, Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. He realized that just as Deng Xing's emotions fluctuated, he could vaguely sense a trace of her field.
Ordinary people don't possess the robust vitality of fighters, and while they do have a field, it's incredibly weak and almost imperceptible.
But Deng Xing, not being a fighter, could effortlessly transmit her field, which was indeed a natural talent and probably the reason she possessed such an ability.
Chen Chuan spoke up, "Miss Deng, what are your plans now? Do you intend to leave the Elephant Gang?"
Deng Xing nodded and then shook her head.
"I want to leave this place, but every time I sense danger, something bad happens around me. I think this time it might be related to Ah Nai and the Elephant Gang. I don't want to just leave without doing something about it," she lifted her head, "So, I'd like to seek help from Mr. Chen and the Processing Bureau."
Facing only the Processing Bureau would have been too daunting for her, but when she decided to contact Chen Chuan, she didn't sense any danger, and Chen Chuan himself was also under threat from the Ferris Wheel Corporation. She believed that Chen Chuan might be able to help her.
Most importantly, the Elephant Gang was her last refuge, and if she couldn't guarantee her safety even here, she didn't know where else to go; she had no other choice.
Chen Chuan paused for a moment, then asked, "From the time you sense danger, Miss Deng, how long does it usually take for something to happen?"
Deng Xing thought for a moment and replied, "It could be within a day or two, or maybe two or three days, but Mr. Chen, my instincts have never been wrong."
"I understand, Miss Deng," said Chen Chuan. "The intelligence you're providing is crucial and very useful to me, so I'm also very willing to help you."
Apart from the intelligence itself, Deng Xing's premonition of danger was also highly valuable, indicating that the Ferris Wheel Corporation might be making a move soon, which meant they could make some preparations in advance.
The Ferris Wheel Corporation had been under intense surveillance recently, and if they wanted to target the Elephant Gang, their best option was the Swordfish Gang. As long as they kept a close eye on the Swordfish Gang, there shouldn't be any issues.
However, this only considered the external situation; if it was an internal issue within the Elephant Gang, things would be more complicated.
Deng Xing listened as he made his promise, and she bowed gratefully, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Chuan touched the Interdimensional Link, preparing to contact the bureau to make specific arrangements. Suddenly, a rustling sound reached his ears, indicating interference on the Link.
The field signal became intermittent, and at that moment, a goose whistle sounded from outside, followed by someone shouting and the patter of running feet.
He looked out and saw that the commercial street's drawbridge had been raised, and the roadblocks in front were being removed. The Elephant Gang members on guard visibly tensed up.
Something must have happened.
Deng Xing immediately felt tense. She said, "Ale, go and see what's going on!"
"Okay, Sister, don't worry. I'll go and find out."
Although Ale was young, he didn't seem the least bit flustered. He moved to an area with less interference, touched his own neck and began to probe and communicate with the Elephant Gang's field information.
After about two minutes, he suddenly rushed back, panting, "Sister, something's wrong. Old Man Tu Ge is dead, and Tu Nai has been captured. Many people are saying that Tu Nai is responsible for the old man's death."
Deng Xing instinctively covered her mouth.
Ale continued, "Sister, you need to leave quickly. Someone inside said you're a spy for the Swordfish Gang. You have to get out of here." He glanced at the calm Chen Chuan, "Mr. Chen, you can help Sister, right?"
Chen Chuan turned to Deng Xing and said, "Miss Deng, I think you must leave here first."
"Yes, Sister," Ale agreed. "Ah Nai is one of the top fighters in the gang, and he might not be in trouble. If you leave, he won't have to worry about you, and maybe he can escape on his own?"
Deng Xing covered her chest, seemingly trying to calm her breathing. She shook her head, "Ah Nai is one of the most loyal members of the gang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been captured so easily. If that's the case, he won't run unless he clears his name."
She looked at Chen Chuan, her eyes pleading, "Mr. Chen, can you save Ah Nai? He's been good to me, and I can't just abandon him. Please, I'm begging you."
Chen Chuan glanced at Deng Xing. This Miss Deng seemed to have a strong sense of camaraderie, as even in such a critical moment, she wasn't thinking of her own safety first.
"Miss Deng," he said, "I know that your boyfriend, Tu Nai, is a core member of the Elephant Gang and also Tu Ge's grandnephew. It's strange to blame Tu Ge's death on Tu Nai. When you left, did you know where Tu Nai had gone?"
Ale interjected, "I know. He just went to get medicine for the old man. The old man's medicine had to be obtained through external channels, and that batch was crucial. It had to be personally brought back by Ah Nai for the old man to take it."
Chen Chuan nodded in understanding, realizing that the Ferris Wheel Corporation was most likely behind this incident.
Since the Ferris Wheel Corporation was involved, he couldn't let them get their way, especially after he had checked the Elephant Gang's information. Tu Ge had been the Gang Leader for over thirty years, and his prestige was unmatched. With his death, the Elephant Gang would undoubtedly descend into chaos.
He had no favorable impression of gang members, and the sudden emergence of a gang with tens of thousands of members like the Elephant Gang was not a good sign for the entire Crystal District.
Chen Chuan turned to Deng Xing and said, "Miss Deng, since I've already agreed to help you, let me handle this matter. I'll escort you out of here first."
Ale spoke up, "I have a way to take Sister Ah Jie out, Mr. Chen. Leave this to me."
"Are you sure?" Chen Chuan asked.
"I'm sure," Ale replied.
Chen Chuan sent a message through the Interdimensional Link to the other end, saying, "Then you take Miss Deng and leave first. Outside, you'll see a sports car with someone waiting to pick you up. There will be someone there to protect you."
Deng Xing stood up and bowed to Chen Chuan, saying, "Mr. Chen, thank you. I'll leave it to you." After saying this, she picked up the cat named Mao Mao and quickly followed Ale out.
Chen Chuan watched as Ale manipulated the Interdimensional Link a few times and then shouted to the people on the lift bridge. The guards looked at them suspiciously, contacted someone inside, and finally, reluctantly, they lowered the drawbridge, allowing the two to leave.
It was clear to Chen Chuan that Ale had used the Resonator technology to send a fake message, but it was likely that those inside would easily know their location.
He picked up the tea from the table and took a sip before standing up and walking down from the tea room, heading towards the street below. His gaze fell upon the tallest building within the Elephant Gang's compound, and he loosened his collar slightly.
"Quick and decisive," he muttered.
The street was almost deserted, and the sentries above immediately felt something was amiss when they saw him standing alone. They redirected their crossbows and gun barrels towards him.
One, six, one, nine, one, book, one, look, one, no, one, mistake, one, version!
"Hey, you..."
Just as they spoke, a loud boom echoed, and a cloud of smoke and dust erupted, followed by the figure's sudden disappearance. When they looked in the direction of the sound, they saw a deep pit in the ground.
Several soldiers were startled and uncertain, but then they heard a voice from afar. They saw a straight line on the ground, and the roadblocks and walls seemed to have been blasted by a cannonball, shattering into countless wooden splinters and bricks.
Under Ale's protection, Deng Xing safely reached the outside. At that moment, they heard a horn honking, and a red sports car was parked there with its door open. The two quickly made their way towards it.
Ni Qianqian looked at them and said, "Deng Xing? I'm a colleague of Chen Xiao. Get in the car."
Deng Xing thanked her and got into the back seat with the large cat and Ale.
Ni Qianqian took a few interested glances at the large cat and then lowered her windproof goggles. "Follow me first. I'll take you to a safe place."
Ni Qianqian noticed Deng Xing's worried look towards the inside and smiled gently. "Don't worry. Since Chen Xiao has promised you, this matter will definitely be handled. Sit tight."
As she spoke, she stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car roared forward, speeding away.
At this moment, Chen Chuan had already arrived at the front of the building and stopped there. As he did, a rolling cloud of smoke and dust formed behind him, enveloping him and slowly descending.
He looked up and saw a tall residence with a pointed tower, the Sheini Great Residence. Its exterior was covered in silver and gold, making it the only building in the area with Light Screen Resources.
A white giant elephant wearing a pot-shaped crown and a precious pagoda on its head descended from above. This was the deity worshipped by the Sheini people, the Top Pot Elephant Lord.
Numerous armed gang guards stood outside, and upon seeing Chen Chuan's sudden appearance with such an impressive display, they were all shocked and pale, raising their guns to aim at him.
But before they could pull the trigger, they suddenly seemed to be hit by an invisible force, their eyes rolling back, and their bodies swaying before falling to the ground with a loud thud.
Chen Chuan seemed to ignore them and continued walking towards the building's interior with the Snow Lord Sword in hand.
As he strolled along, gang members on both sides of the road fell one by one, their bodies hitting the ground with a thud.
Inside the grand hall, several elders in traditional Sheini attire were seated, with Tu Nai kneeling in front of them, his hands bound behind his back.
They had been questioning Tu Nai, but when they saw the situation outside through the open hall door, they were all shocked and stood up involuntarily.
The gang fighters responsible for protecting them in the hall all looked tense, trying to move forward to shield the elders with their bodies.
However, a tall elder with a wrinkled face reached out and pushed the person in front of him aside. In a deep voice, he said, "This is Captain Chen from the Processing Bureau. Don't stop him. Let him in."
